QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) We dont need anymore offense. What we need is for our starters to grab their balls and act something remotely similar to the guys who carried this team last season. So you're suggesting we stand pat then.....which is actually what I think will happen. It's sad though, because after watching us play the AL East powers, I think we're an inferior team.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) So do we have any more info on Fields getting pulled from the game? Injury. Doesn't sound serious.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) Im looking forward to leaving New York and regrouping and seeing what KW is gonna come up with. There are so many rumors Im sure something is gonna happen soon. Sure, there are a lot of rumors, but none of them really make sense and go along with KW's philosophy. Since it's so hard to acquire starting pitching, I really think the best thing we could do is improve our offense even more. I'd like to thank the schedule maker for the off day tomorrow. It's a pleasant break from the crap we just had to watch this wknd.

BTW....station-to-station baseball rules.

We live and die on offense with our 3-4-5. If they struggle in the 2nd half of the year, we have no chance at making the playoffs. I wonder what the Orioles would want for Tejada?

With his improved offense, maybe our manager will quit costing us extra base hits by continuing to play Mackowiak in center field. It's inexcusable to have a poor fielding center field out there when you have a pitcher who doesn't strike out a lot of hitters.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Disgusting. Wild card lead is now 3. Which is a hell of a lot more important than how the f***ing Tigers are doing against the Royals.

This is one of the worst losses of the season.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) He obviously was not feeling well. Hoepfully the day off will get rid of the flu crap. It's like a two week flu for him then. I hope he sees a doctor. Hopefully he doesn't have appendicitis like yours truly did.

Nice pull swing by PK. What a f***ing pathetic game for him.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) NO DOUPLE PLAYS, PAULIE. And here comes Ozuna for no real reason. Very smart to have Ozuna be the tying run. Take him out to right Paulie!

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) I am flipping back and forth between Sox-Tigers games, and you can see KC knowing they are/or about to blow it...it's really sad to watch. Doesn't it remind you of the way the Indians found a way to win all those games in the 2nd half of last year. Except this year, the Tigers have done it all year.

Very interesting take by Thome. I'll take it though.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) How bout the 3 singles from these three like the other night. Dye matches up the best against Rivera.

It's too bad Pods hit into a DP last inning. We've completely outplayed the Yankees today.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) You spoke about 6 outs too early. 9-6 now, and still no outs in the 8th. Man, the Tigers have "it". It's too bad they're competing with us, as I would really admire them if they were in the NL.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) At the least, I see that Detroit's played poor against KC this weekend, too, and was fortunate that they were playing KC, because that's the only reason they pulled out their wins, aside from Verlander's. I take some heart in the way they've been playing. They just won 3 out of 4. With their record so far, that type of "crappy" play will let them cruise into the playoffs. It's not like we kicked the s*** out of KC last year when we'd beat them. We had an insane amount of one run, lucky wins vs them last year.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) The dude is hitting .200 on the year. THe fact that you single me out is hilarious. Everybody hates on Pods and you dont' say a thing when everybody is hating on him when he is crushing BA offensively. THe double standard is hilarious. Am I actually seeing an argument between two of the most optimistic posters on this site? Next thing you know is that Milkman and I are going to get into an argument.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) What the f*** are you talking about? Gload can do everything Mackowiak does for a fraction of the cost. He's just not getting a chance. Shut up It's just simply amazing that we're almost 100 games into the season, and we still have the same holes on our roster that we did the opening weekend.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) .330+ with RISP. 2 for 3 with 2 walks on the day. Then you are going to say he's not clutch when one of the best closers of all time gets him out? I would have rather had a righty on the bench we could have hit in that situation. Lefties have no prayer against Rivera. Of course, Gload continues to be a waste of a roster spot.

Torre continues just a masterful job of managing this weekend.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) No, but if it was Brian that hit into that DP, you would have been all over him. Funny how that works.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Just one of those weekends. Unfortunately it is two in a row. That was more them than us last week though. It's too bad we can't face the national league anytime soon. Those terrible teams hide our lack of fundamentals/coaching.

PATHETIC! This is truly disgusting. We need a righty outfielder off of the bench.

With the way Pods swings, he has no chance to hit Rivera's cutter square.
